Their short description reliably says so (e.g. 'transitional
package', 'transitional dummy package for foo'). Verified against
production package data: 190 matches, none of them ever had a
screenshot.
Libraries never produce useful screenshots. Excluding by Debian
archive section instead of a lib* name pattern keeps applications
with lib-prefixed names (libreoffice, librecad, ...) importable.
With REMOVE_BLACKLISTED_PACKAGE set, the next import also removes
previously imported libs-section packages and their screenshots.
Unique violations on packages_name_key happen on a statement that
cannot logically touch name - log the exact query and a longer
backtrace to identify what really fails.
Drop the threaded worker pool (queue, mutexes, connection pooling).
The task now processes packages one by one via find_each - plenty
fast since the external embedding service dominates latency, and
much easier to reason about.
A single failing package used to kill its whole worker thread silently
because only Vectorizer::Error was rescued per package. Now every
StandardError is caught and logged with class and backtrace, and the
embedding write is narrowed to update_column(:embedding) so the task
only ever issues a minimal UPDATE - it cannot touch any other column
or fire model callbacks. Progress stats no longer serialize database
writes through the mutex.
Package text search now combines several strategies: exact name match,
name prefix promotion, compound word splitting ("sqlite browser" finds
"sqlitebrowser") and semantic nearest neighbor search over description
embeddings computed by an external embedding service (all-MiniLM-L6-v2,
384 dims) stored with the pgvector extension. Classic PostgreSQL
full-text search remains as fallback when the vector service is
unreachable. Gibberish queries without lexical overlap with the package
data return empty results instead of random matches.
Embeddings can be backfilled with bin/rails debshots:compute_vectors.
Also drops the unused lograge gem from the Gemfile.
To migrate the application as of April 2020:
• leave models/screenshot.rb with “has_attached_file”
• bundle exec rake db:migrate
• bin/move_paperclip_to_activestorage
• set models/screenshot.rb to “has_one_attached”
Example:
Description-en: 389 Directory Server suite - server
Based on the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), the 389
Directory Server is designed to manage large directories of users and
resources robustly and scalably.
.
Its key features include:
* four-way multi-master replication;
* great scalability;
* extensive documentation;
* Active Directory user and group synchronization;
* secure authentication and transport;
* support for LDAPv3;
* graphical management console;
* on-line, zero downtime update of schema, configuration, and
in-tree Access Control Information.
The "Its key features include:" was mistaken as a key.
